What is new in version 1.94?

In cPGuard version 1.94, developers have added an option to configure account auto-suspension upon detecting suspicious actions. It provides an option to suspend an account when there is a blacklisted domain detected under an account or a certain amount of virus files are detected under a particular account in a defined period. The feature is very flexible and you can enable/disable the feature, adjust email detection threshold, whitelist users, etc. This helps to protect the server IP address reputation due to hosting blacklisted domains on your server and reduce abusive activities under a compromised account.
